Blending emotionally resonant lyricism with a contemporary sonic palette, the new track marks a bold evolution in Mancell’s artistry.

“Love You More” showcases Damien’s distinctive voice and songwriting, and his production style, pairing polished production with raw emotional depth. “I wanted to make a new record firmly placed on the dance floor. I’ve been working on the new album for a while and wanted to make an album that showed my progression as an artist, a singer, a songwriter, and a producer. I’m hoping to release it later in the year,” he said.
“The new single “love you more” is a clear indication of where the album is going.
After the success of the previous two singles, I took my time making a record I’m really proud of.
The single positions him as an artist unafraid to push creative boundaries while maintaining an authentic connection with his audience, one he has cultivated worldwide over the past decade. Damien says of the single, “The new single “love you more” has been road-tested in clubs by DJs from around the world, and so far the reaction has been more than positive. Some of the remixes sound wicked.”
His unabashed connection to queer audiences worldwide has seen him garner fans from all over, without riding the so-called recent large corporate label “pink wave” but continuing to grow organically among LGBTQIA+ fans from all walks of life.
This release follows growing momentum across digital platforms, further establishing Damien Mancell as an emerging voice in the contemporary pop/dance music landscape.
